Effective self-care doesn't always require a lot of money or time

3. Tasty treat
Hey — we like a sugary snack as much as the next gal, but when something can satisfy our sweet tooth AND be good for us it's a win-win. So try this simple chia pudding. It's easy and delicious and even looks pretty.

Mix:

2 12 oz cans coconut milk
3/4 cup chia seeds
1 Tbsp vanilla
2 Tbsp maple syrup

Cover and refrigerate at least two hours or overnight. Top with fruit, or eat as is.

4. Hair oil
Get a hair oil — we particularly love the Uma Intensely Nourishing Hair Oil, $70, if you're looking for options. Before you go to bed, or even before your shower, take a couple of drops and apply to dry hair. Massage into scalp and brush through your strands. It feels oh-so-good and your locks will thank you.

5. Go outside
Countless studies have shown that being in nature lowers stress and anxiety levels. So find a patch of grass, take off your shoes, and let the blades tickle your toes for ten minutes or so while your face soaks up some sunshine.

6. Diffuser
Get an essential oil diffuser (like the popular Muji Ultrasonic Aroma Diffuser, $59.95) and some essential oils. Put it right in your entryway so every time you come home your house smells amazing.

7. Undies
Buy a nice pair of underwear — for yourself, no one else. Make them cute and comfy (maybe something like these Honeydew Intimates Ahna 3-Pack Hipster Panties, $33). Every time you get to put them on in the morning you'll start your morning off on the right, erm, foot.
